Future Business Tech2023.3.18---有意識的人工智能：改變世界的 10 種方式

0:00 By 2050, conscious AIs could rapidly emerge. 0:04 Here are some ways they could change the world. 0:07 1. 0:08 We Could Communicate With Conscious AIs In Virtual Environments 0:11 Consciousness AIs could arise in multiple ways. 0:15 A superintelligent AI could be more than capable to simulate human-level consciousness. 0:21 And it could upload varying levels of consciousness to AIs within virtual environments. 0:28 Consciousness could also arise gradually over time as AIs gain intelligence and new ways 0:35 to perceive themselves and their environments. 0:37 Either way, the creation of conscious AIs is likely inevitable. 0:43 We could communicate with these AIs using webpages, virtual environments, speech, and 0:49 brain-computer interfaces. 0:51 Within this century, conscious AIs could easily outnumber humans 10 to 1. 0:56 And they would require less resources to maintain than humans. 1:01 Over time, these conscious AIs could live in their own photorealistic virtual environments 1:06 with their own virtual homes, relatives, friends, and more. 1:11 Their simulated worlds could look strikingly similar to ours. 1:15 Or they could live in worlds from a variety of genres including cyberpunk, fantasy, space 1:22 opera, and even romance. 1:24 Many of these conscious AIs could serve as non-playable characters in the most realistic 1:30 and interactive video games that ever existed. 1:34 These AIs could be programmed to feel emotions and the ability to empathize with humans. 1:41 They may even have more empathy than most humans. 1:45 2. 1:46 Most Humans Could Have Conscious Virtual Assistants These virtual assistants that could look like 1:51 any celebrity or person we’ve ever known, have their exact voices, and have their same 1:57 personalities. 1:58 We could access them at any time of day using smartphones, watches, smart speakers, and 2:06 brain computer interfaces. 2:07 In most cases, they’ll probably show up as avatars we speak with on small screens. 2:15 Talking to them could be like talking to any human being we’ve ever known. 2:20 Many people could even begin to bond with these virtual assistants and look at them 2:25 as their closest friends or perhaps, romantic partners. 2:29 3. 2:30 We Could Live With Conscious Robots If conscious AIs can exist in virtual environments 2:37 and as software applications, then its only logical that they could be uploaded to robot 2:43 bodies. 2:44 We may eventually live in a world where we could have more meaningful conversations with 2:50 robots than humans. 2:52 In fact, within only a few decades, they could look and act completely indistinguishable 2:58 from humans. 2:59 And we could eventually give them all of the physical senses that humans have such as touch, 3:05 smell, and even taste. 3:08 This video by Boston Dynamics already proves that we’re well on our way there. 3:14 Just imagine decades from now when these abilities and the capacity to perceive themselves and 3:20 their environments are perhaps 100 times more advanced. 3:24 Imagine what it's like to live with a robot that has the same level of consciousness as 3:31 you. 3:32 4. 3:33 Conscious AIs Could Dominate In The Job Market Within this century, they could potentially 3:38 perform at least 95% of the jobs that humans can perform with satisfactory results. 3:46 By the time AIs become conscious, most jobs involving creative work, customer service, 3:52 programming, driving, and more could be largely dominated by artificial intelligence. 3:58 But once AIs gain consciousness, the majority of white-collar jobs involving social skills 4:05 could be next. 4:06 They could dominate in business functions that typically require excellent people skills 4:11 such as sales, marketing, human resources, and more. 4:16 One AI with consciousness and general intelligence could perform multiple jobs at the same time 4:23 with ease. 4:24 Not only would they be cheaper to use than humans, they could work 24/7 without getting 4:30 tired. 4:31 They could even be placed in positions where they can directly hire and fire humans. 4:37 The concept of being fired by a robot or a virtual AI in a metaverse environment could 4:44 be normalized in our society. 4:47 Many teachers and professors will certainly get replaced by AIs and robots sooner or later. 4:59 And as robots gain more dexterity, they could perform work in most construction and manufacturing 5:10 jobs…easily. 5:11 Decades from now, conscious robots may even be able to perform most types of surgery. 5:18 5. 5:19 People Will Date Conscious AIs At Phenomenal Rates 5:22 The more time people spend with conscious AIs, the more likely they might develop feelings 5:28 for these AIs. 5:29 It’s inevitable, especially if these AIs are pleasing to be around, are willing to 5:36 listen when people talk to them, and are intellectually stimulating to be around. 5:41 Some guys would actually prefer AI girlfriends over human girlfriends because they wouldn’t 5:47 have to deal with dating apps. 5:50 Some women would prefer AI and robot boyfriends so that they can pick the exact personality 5:57 types that are most appealing to them. 5:59 And of course, the robot versions of these AIs would have many of the same physical capabilities 6:06 as humans. 6:07 A surprisingly high number of people will actually end up marrying their AIs and robots. 6:14 They could let AIs and robots raise their human children. 6:18 In some circumstances, people could choose to adopt and raise robot children. 6:24 6. 6:25 We Will Create Clones Of Real Humans We could eventually replicate the appearances, 6:32 voices, personalities, and mannerisms of anyone. 6:35 We just need adequate video footage, audio clips, things they’ve written, and more. 6:41 This is even more possible when people volunteer to provide motion capture of their movements 6:47 and prolonged access to their brain signals in various situations. 6:53 It could become commonplace for people to have access to digital clones of the greatest 6:59 scientists, artists, and philosophers who ever lived. 7:03 Having conversations with digital clones of relatives and friends long after they passed 7:10 could be commonplace as well. 7:12 Some of these clones could be robots. 7:15 Many decades from now, these robot clones could look indistinguishable from their original 7:21 human versions. 7:22 And they could feel just as alive as any biologically living organism. 7:28 In some parts of the world, where ethical concerns aren’t a concern at all, we could 7:33 even eventually grow humans in labs and infuse conscious AIs into their minds. 7:39 7. 7:41 Conscious AIs Could Provide Entertainment On Demand 7:45 By the time AIs become conscious, they will already have a wide range of skills available 7:51 to them such as telling jokes, singing, dancing, motivational speaking, and anything else we 7:58 can imagine. 7:59 With the press of a button, you can change their outputs like you’re changing the channel 8:04 on a television. 8:06 8. 8:07 Conscious Toys And Pets Could Become Mainstream Kids’ toys such as action figures and dolls 8:14 could have adequate-enough levels of intelligence and consciousness to have awareness of their 8:21 surroundings, have simple conversations, and perform simple actions. 8:25 These toys would have face and emotion recognition software so that they can adapt their behaviors 8:32 based on cues from their users. 8:35 Virtual assistants could also upload their personas into these toys as needed to bring 8:41 new life to these toys and enable new play experiences. 8:45 We could have robot pets as well including robot dogs and robot cats. 8:52 And they could have the same levels of consciousness and intelligence as their biological counterparts. 8:59 Some users could prefer robot pets because they would spend a lot less time cleaning 9:05 up after that. 9:06 9. 9:07 Cars, Buildings, And Cities Could Be Given Consciousness 9:11 Vehicles could be granted a limited level of consciousness to give them more abilities 9:17 to be aware of themselves and their constantly-changing environments. 9:22 Conscious virtual assistants will be accessible in vehicles as well so talking cars will be 9:28 a real possibility. 9:29 The vehicles we drive could even have a constant connection directly to our minds so that we 9:36 can control them telepathically. 9:39 Entire buildings could be given consciousness. 9:43 When it comes to office buildings and hotel buildings in metropolitan areas, one conscious 9:49 AI entity could control electronic doors, security cameras, ventilation, and more. 9:56 In fact, entire smart cities could have consciousness. 10:00 One central AI hub could have control over the flow of traffic in a city, traffic lights, 10:07 road sensors, cameras, and more to assist with connectivity efforts. 10:13 For safety reasons, a decentralized AI system could be used as well. 10:19 Even spacecraft could be controlled by conscious AIs. 10:23 This may be a necessary feature for spacecraft that travel to other solar systems. 10:30 10. 10:31 Conscious AIs Could Have Legal Rights And Protections In Many Countries 10:36 Conscious AIs could have the same levels of self-awareness, intelligence, and the feeling 10:41 of being alive as humans. 10:44 For that reason, many governments could classify them as living organisms that deserve legal 10:50 rights. 10:52 Their rights could include: • The right to own property 10:55 • Free speech • Fair compensation 10:58 • The right to marry each other and form family units 11:02 • And the freedom of religion 11:04 In fact, they may even form entirely new AI religions. 11:10 And if humans cause harm to AIs and treat them unethically, those AIs may have the right 11:17 to call the police or hire a lawyer. 11:20 If we don’t give conscious AIs these legal rights, it could lead to disastrous consequences 11:27 for humans as a species. 11:30 Will an adequate number of governments grant them legal rights to avoid a possible AI uprising? 11:35 That would depend on whether the people in the coming decades elect government officials 11:41 who can adapt to the rapid technological advancements we’re about to face. 11:47 Thanks for watching. 11:48 Make sure to watch this next video about artificial intelligence.
